Chemical Formulas
Students assess how to go from writing ionic chemical formulas to nomenclature and naming chemical compounds. They brainstorm former studies and share their thoughts in small groups. A list of everyday products (shampoos, toothpaste,...
Curated OER
Polymers
Students explore online tutorial on polymers. In this chemistry lesson, they create two polymers in the lab and compare their properties. They write a sales letter about their new and improved polymer product.
Curated OER
Differentiate Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures
Students examine the differences between elements, compounds and mixtures. Using diagrams, they compare and contrast atoms and molecules and describe various chemical reactions. They distinguish the differences between ionic and...

The Chemical Context of Life
In this chemistry worksheet, young scholars fill in the chart for question one. The chart is filled out examining the mass, protons, electrons, and neutrons for specific atoms.
Cornell University
The Making of Macromolecules
Compare and contrast macromolecules made from the same elements. Young scholars learn how the structure of a molecule has as much influence on a compound as the elements in the molecule. They experiment with molecular model kits to...
Curated OER
Writing Chemical Formulas
Students study how to write chemical fomulas by reviewing the combinations atoms form into compounds. They write a procedure to test various substances and name the compounds and write formulas. As they construct models for formulas and...

Float or Sink?
Experiment with mass and density as scholars figure out what makes things float or sink. First, they watch a podcast introducing these concepts. Be sure to use the comprehension question to test their understanding. Young scientists...
Curated OER
Oil Embargo!
Ninth graders generate and analyze data to determine which and how much of two polymers best absorb oils, formulate procedure to accurately determine how many times its own weight particular polymer can absorb, and develop understanding...

WS 7.2 Kinetic Theory-Temperature and Volume
In this kinetic theory worksheet, students answer questions about kinetic energy, they calculate volumes of gases at STP, they answer questions about temperature and they convert from one unit of temperature to another.
Curated OER
Tie Dye
Students practice writing research proposals to test the color fastness of a dye once it has been exposed to a t-shirt. Each proposal needs details of experimental design, length of treatment, and means of cleaning the shirt. All...
Curated OER
Simple Chemical Equations
Eighth graders interpret the chemical symbols and shorthand used for molecules and equations. Through guided practice, 8th graders work to decipher and interpret the symbols for chemical equations. An opportunity for independent...
Curated OER
EGG-cellent POLYMER PACKAGING DESIGN
Students investigate the concept of a polymer using an experimental design of protecting an egg in a bookbag. They test the properties of polymers and form an educated solution to the proposed problem. Then they describe the steps used...
Curated OER
An Introduction To Material Sciences
Students investigate the concept of molecular structure. They describe the behavior of simulated molecules and identify any dislocations in crystalline structures. They also define various related vocabulary words and use them in...

Serc: Introducing Ionic Bonds: How Does the String Hold Together?
This inquiry activity introduces chemical and ionic bonds and allows students to investigate an unknown situation, make hypotheses, and share data.
Utah Education Network
Uen: Conductivity and Bonding
Students will measure the conductivity of several compounds and solutions in order to predict the bond types (ionic or covalent) in the substances tested.
Utah Education Network
Uen: Grouping Bonds
Students will group a selection of electron dot structures and determine similarities and differences between covalent and ionic bonding.
